Our take on The Torus Syndicate
Rather than keeping movement on a fixed arcade path, the game adds room-scale traversal, letting players move through encounters physically while shooting, dodging, and taking cover. Its enemies also use flanking and movement abilities, extending the classic rail-shooter format beyond stationary target practice.
